Along with this, the Federal Tax Service will be able to transfer information about the taxpayer to other persons if he has given his consent to this.

Such actions will not be considered disclosure of tax secrets.

It is noted that consent can be provided in respect of all information received by the tax authority, or part of it.

The corresponding application is sent to the tax office in electronic form.
